Our ban is just now going into effect. I don't drink alchol but I go to the Press Room in New Hampshire (US) for the sessions & I do spend money eating. I'm delighted as a singer that there's a ban as I know most other singers are to. Many of the patrons if they smoke are at the other end away from the music but there are those that smoke but have always gone outside, thanks to them all but then there are those that will sit as close to the singers as possible & smoke not giving a shit about them, well now they can take it out doors & if they don't like it they can go elsewhere there's always another who'll be wanting their table.
